That's it blame the kids.
Here's one for you, years ago, well about 20 actually, I was working for a Vauxhall dealer in the workshops and my apprentice was asked to put the wheels etc. back onto a car I'd just finished servicing and replacing all of the brakes etc, when the forman came back from trying to road test it he looked as though he'd sh!t himself and said tell me what's wrong with that car, I was sitting in the rest room at the time while the apprentice was cleaning my tools, so I went to the workshop and procreate me the rear drums were still on the bench. Never asked an apprentice to finish off again.

got a good story about apprentices. my dad used to work in a coachworks. the new apprentice was working with the boss, and the job for the day was to do some welding on the underside of the car. the apprentices job was to sit in the car and watch out for flames. anyway 15 mins later the apprentice speaks "Mr Thompson......... Mr Thompson.. MR THOMPSON" "what" from the boss. "the cars on fire now Mr Thompson" sure enough it was well ablaze. another apprentice sacked. Mr Thompson never did have much luck with apprentices.
Help Me i'm being held hostage. bring reinforcements.

Re: brake conversion issue
Nothing wrong with braided hose - MOT guys used to get weird about them but no so much now. The issue I see is the push rod to operate the master as it's length will vary when the arm moves up & down!
